I'm stuck on these two questions regarding indirect object pronouns. for the first question would it be..
je s 'achète des gants.(à ta mère et à toi, Célia).
For the second question: would it be..
Célia se achète un pantalon. (à moi)
The "se" is for self/selves. Because I do not see the question, but only the answers, I'm guessing.
Je vous achète des gants à ta mère et à toi, Célia. = I buy/do buy/am buying some gloves for your Mother and for you, Celia.
Is the question: What are you buying for us?
It's always best to put the Instructions/Directions plus the question before your answer, then I don't have to guess!
Célia m'achète un pantalon à moi. = Celia is buying a pair of trousers for me. (guessing again!)
Sra (aka Mme)
I will next time i'm sorry. these sentences are blank at where i put for the first one (s') and the second (se). i was looking in my book but finally found my answer. You really are a great help. thank you so much again.

For the first question, the correct answer would be: "Je lui achète des gants".
To arrive at this answer, you need to understand how indirect object pronouns work in French. In this sentence, "des gants" is the direct object because it directly receives the action of the verb "acheter" (to buy). The indirect object, on the other hand, is the person or thing to whom or for whom the action is being done.
In this case, "à ta mère et à toi, Célia" indicates that the indirect object pronoun is plural and refers to both your mother and yourself (Célia). The pronoun "lui" is used as a singular indirect object pronoun. Therefore, "Je lui achète des gants" means "I'm buying gloves for you and your mother, Célia".
For the second question, the correct answer would be: "Célia s'achète un pantalon".
Again, you need to understand how indirect object pronouns work. In this sentence, "un pantalon" is the direct object as it receives the action of the verb "acheter". The indirect object in this case is "à moi", which means "to me".
The pronoun "s'achète" is used to reflect that Célia is buying something for herself. By adding "à moi" (to me) after the verb, you indicate that she is buying it for you. Therefore, "Célia s'achète un pantalon (à moi)" means "Célia is buying herself pants (for me)".
